ROLL UP, ROLL UP FOR THE RICKY ROAD RUN

We have a strong connection with the annual Ricky Road Run, now in its 28th year. The event was founded back in 1984 by our Founder, Derrick Williams to raise much needed funds for WaterAid and nominated local charities. This year the event takes place on Sunday 30 October and for the first time the event organisers have pledged some of the money raised to KitAid.

If you know any runners or fancy helping out on the morning as a marshal, do let us know by emailing kitaid@veoliawater.co.uk It's a 9 mile run, a really friendly event and a scenic route through the Chilterns. For more information seewww.rickyroadrun.co.uk

Welcome to KitAid's blog

Registered charity no. 1113968

This little boy in a tattered Liverpool shirt was the catalyst to KitAid in 1998. Following a trip to Tanzania with WaterAid by Derrick Williams, KitAid was formed and the charity has grown steadily over the years from sending one box to the tiny village in Tanzania to this year donating 100,000 football kits to children and adults in some of the poorest countries in the World.

Many of these kits have been loved by children and adults in the UK and are now being loved again by people, thousands of miles away. Bringing us together is the passion for football and big smiles on our faces.
